COOKING ATTACHMENT FOR STOVES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 4,1919.

Application filed December 19, 1917. Serial No. 207,949.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonem M. SCRIBNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at El Gajon, in the countyiof San Diego and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Attachments for Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a cooking attachment for stoves.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of an attachment for stoves whereby a plurality of articles may be cooked over a single burner.

A further object is the provision of means for keeping certain articles warm while others are being cooked.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the. novel details of construction and arrangements of parts as will be fully understood from the following specification and drawings in which Figure 1 is a top plan.

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan, and

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line 33 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.

In the drawings the numeral 1 indicates a bottom plate having an opening 2 therein which is adapted to set over the burner. Theouter edges of the plate 1 are bent upwardly to form the upstanding flange 3 which in turn has its upper end bent to form a right angle extension 4. A top plate .5 having a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings 6 therein is received upon the right extension 4 of the flange 3 and the edges thereof are bent around and under the extension 4 as indicated at 7. By this arrangement the plate 5 is spaced from the plate 1 to ,form a heat chamber and the openings 6 in the top plate 5 are so spaced as not to come directly over the opening 2 in the plate 1.

A V-shaped deflector 8 is secured to the plate 1, midway the ends thereof, by means of rivets 9 and the upper ends of the deflector bear against the lower surface of the shown in Fig.

plate 5 as mor particularly 3 of the drawin Plates 10 having cars 11 are pivotally connected to the plate 5 at 12 and as is more particularly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3, of the drawings, the ears 11 overlap. The

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the plates 10 are provided with central openings and tongues 13 extend into the openings for supporting a vessel containing the article to be cooked or to be kept warm. The plates 10 are of such a shape as to conform to the curvature of the ends of the plate 5 when swung over said plate. Each of the plates 10 is provided on the outer end with a depending tongue 14 the purpose of which will be presently described.

Having fully described the detailed construction it is thought that the advantages and operation will be clearly understood.

he opening 2 in the bottom plate 1 is to be placed over the burner of a gas or oil stove and the heat therefrom will be deflected, by the deflector 8, toward the openings 6 in the top plate 5. The receptacles containing the articles to be cooked are placed over the openings 6. When it is desired to keep an article warm while other articles are being cooked the plates 10 may be swung to either side of the heatingchamher, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, by grasping the depending tongue 14:. It will thus be seen that if desired two articles may be cooking and two articles being kept warm at the same time. Of course it will be understood that when no articles are being warmed the plates 10 will be over the heating chamber and the receptacles containing the articles being cooked will rest 7 upon the plates 10.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A cooking attachment comprising a heating chamber having a horizontal flange extending around the top edge thereof, plates overlapping at one end and pivotally con nected to the top of the heating chamber, and tongues formed on the other end of said pivoted plates, said tongues being bent over the flange on the top edge of the chamber and extending parallel with the vertical wall of the chamber and in spaced relation thereto and being bent upward at their lower edge.

In testimony whereof I aflix my in presence of two witnesses.
